Suddenly, Chu Yunyun ran over, pleading tearfully with Long Changsheng.
But instead of earning any gratitude from Long Changsheng, her pleas only caused his expression to turn visibly colder.
“That’s impossible!”
Long Changsheng waved his arm, nearly knocking Chu Yunyun to the ground.
“Master Jiang is a chivalrous and compassionate man!
If he refused to help, it must be because you angered him!”
Startled by his sudden outburst, Chu Yunyun stumbled and fell to the ground.
He was furious!
The Patriarch of the Long family was raging at her over an outsider.
‘This isn’t normal!’
“Miss, Master Jiang is a divine being who can kill with a flower petal or a leaf!”
Ignoring the pain, Ancient Wolf quickly transferred the money to Jiang Ning, terrified that he would go back on his word.
After receiving the money, Jiang Ning glanced at Ancient Wolf.
“Seeing as you are devoted to protecting your master and have shown a willingness to repent, I’ll make an exception.
Not only will I spare your life, but I will also heal your injuries.”
Hearing this, Ancient Wolf immediately knelt before Jiang Ning.
“Divine Jiang, please save the Patriarch first!
My life doesn’t matter, but he is the Patriarch of the Chu family!”
“In my eyes, all lives are equal!”
Jiang Ning flicked his wrist, and five Golden Needles appeared between his fingers.
He plunged them directly into Ancient Wolf’s arms.
In that instant, a massive wave of life force erupted within Ancient Wolf’s body, surging through his limbs and torso like a bursting dam.
BOOM!
His vital energy and blood roiled.
Not only did Ancient Wolf feel his injuries healing, but he even sensed that his long-stagnant cultivation realm was beginning to loosen.
A look of instant joy, tinged with excitement, appeared on his face.
“Focus your mind and guard your core.
Do not be distracted!”
The faint voice struck Ancient Wolf’s mind like the beat of a drum.
It caused his state of mind to become as placid as ice, allowing him to focus solely on his cultivation.
“Patriarch!
This Master Jiang truly lives up to his reputation!”
Jiang Chengwu’s eyes widened as he watched Jiang Ning’s movements.
‘This level of skill and power…
he’s leagues ahead of me!’
And what’s more, Ancient Wolf had said it earlier.
This Jiang Ning was someone who could injure his enemies with a flower petal or a leaf!
‘Could it be?’
‘Is he a Grandmaster?!’
Jiang Chengwu’s breathing grew ragged.
Just then, Long Changsheng shot Jiang Chengwu a sidelong glance.
The look seemed to say, ‘You’ve hit the jackpot today!’
To be treated by an Immortal was a once-in-a-lifetime, monumental opportunity.
“Jiang, just wait patiently for a moment.
I guarantee your cultivation realm will see some improvement soon as well.”
Long Changsheng patted Jiang Chengwu’s shoulder and spoke meaningfully.
Soon, under Jiang Ning’s treatment, Ancient Wolf was able to stand up.
Not only that, but he could also swing his arms with vigorous power.
His body seemed even more robust and powerful than before.
“Ancient Wolf thanks Master Jiang for his gracious mercy!”
Ancient Wolf cupped his fist and dropped to one knee before Jiang Ning.
“Alright, carry your Patriarch to the bed inside.
To resolve the Five Decays of a Celestial Being, I’ll need to use other methods!”
After speaking, Jiang Ning started to walk into the Huichun Building.
Li Huichun was stunned!
‘This kid just called me a quack, and now he wants to use the equipment in my clinic?’
“Divine Doctor Li, please accommodate my Patriarch.”
Ancient Wolf said, seeing Li Huichun blocking the doorway while he held Chu Tianba.
“Ah?
Oh!” Li Huichun snapped back to his senses.
“Yes, yes, of course.
Ah Ji, quickly take Mr.
Chu to the room from before.”
“Master Jiang, please!”
Just as Jiang Ning was about to step forward, Long Changsheng came to his side and spoke respectfully.
“Old Sir, you have to believe in science!”
Jiang Ning chuckled softly and stepped inside.
Long Changsheng mulled over Jiang Ning’s words for a moment and immediately understood.
‘So Master Jiang doesn’t want to reveal his identity as an Immortal!’
‘Heh heh!’
‘That’s fine by me!’
‘While others don’t know about this powerful patron, I must make sure to hold on tight.’
Thinking of this, he immediately called Long Jiaojiao and told her to speed up the investigation into the recipients of those ninety-nine marriage contracts and give Jiang Ning a reply as soon as possible!
Although he also wanted his own granddaughter to marry Jiang Ning.
But that sort of thing was entirely up to Jiang Ning’s wishes; it couldn’t be forced.
Otherwise, if he burned the marriage contracts in a fit of anger, where would they ever find ninety-nine peerless beauties again?
Inside the clinic, Jiang Ning watched as Ancient Wolf laid Chu Tianba flat.
At that moment, all eyes were on Jiang Ning.
With another flick of his wrist, nine Golden Needles appeared, each one glowing with a brilliant light.
HISS—
Recognizing their significance, Li Huichun gasped, nearly fainting on the spot.
“Divine Doctor Li, what’s wrong?”
Chu Yunyun asked, her face full of worry.
“Heavens!
It’s the Nine Needles of Spiritual Extremity, the Nine Needles of Spiritual Extremity!
Legend says this set of needles was lost hundreds of years ago!
My ancestor was fortunate enough to have seen this needle technique!
He even studied under the master of these needles for a time.
To think they’ve reappeared!”
Li Huichun was so excited he was waving his arms and legs like a child.
He seemed desperate for everyone to know about his ancestor’s glorious past.
“Hm?”
Jiang Ning couldn’t help but chuckle internally when he heard that Li Huichun’s ancestor had apparently followed his own master.
‘No wonder this quack with his mediocre talent could be called a divine doctor of his generation.’
‘It turns out he was just basking in the reflected glory of the Celestial Sect!’
SWOOSH!
In a single instant, all nine Golden Needles were firmly embedded in Chu Tianba’s body.
The Renzhong, Shaoshang, Yinbai, Daling…
A total of nine critical acupoints.
BUZZ!
Jiang Ning’s eyes were slightly closed, his hands spread wide.
The nine Golden Needles, as if imbued with a spirit of their own, all began to tremble ceaselessly.
As the Golden Needles vibrated, the golden light upon them seeped into Chu Tianba’s body, bit by bit.
“Needles, rise!”
A full five minutes later, Jiang Ning’s eyes snapped open.
With a sharp cry, all nine Golden Needles flew up into the air of their own accord.
The next second, Chu Tianba’s eyes flew open, and he began to gasp for fresh air.
He was overcome with relief!
Just moments ago, he had one foot in the gates of hell!
But just as he was about to step all the way through, a clap of thunder exploded in his ears, pulling him back.
“Grandpa!”
Chu Yunyun cried out excitedly, rushing to Chu Tianba’s bedside.
“Yunyun, was it that young man from before who saved me?”
Chu Tianba asked.
Li Huichun’s medical skills were limited, and he had declared from the start that he couldn’t cure him.
The only one who could have saved him was Jiang Ning.
“Patriarch!
It was Divine Jiang who saved you!”
Ancient Wolf said, his face filled with excitement.
‘He had bet correctly!’
The Patriarch of the Chu family would live after all.
“Young friend, thank you for showing such mercy!”
Seeing that Ancient Wolf was completely unharmed, Chu Tianba hurriedly thanked Jiang Ning.
“It was nothing.
For the sake of those six hundred million, I won’t hold a grudge against you.”
Jiang Ning collected his needles, stood up, and walked directly over to Jiang Chengwu.
“Master, I beg you to treat me!
Besides this check, this old man is willing to serve you with utmost loyalty!”
